Avecho (AVE) has kicked off enrolment for its phase one human clinical trial measuring CBD absorption.

The phase one pharmacokinetic study has been designed to look into the absorption profile of cannabidiol from its CBD soft-gel product.

The trials will assess Avecho’s 75 milligram and 150 milligram CBD soft-gel products. The sixteen subjects in the study will receive two separate doses over a two-week period, with medicating set to start in early October.

The study is said to support Avecho’s strategic focus of developing pharmaceutical CBD products that leverage its proprietary TPM formulations.

The study has been designed to form a key piece of a future regulatory submission, as well as ongoing research and development for Avecho’s CBD product portfolio.

“We are delighted to progress enrolment of healthy volunteers for this study, and to commence formal clinical assessment of Avecho’s CBD soft-gel product,” said Avecho CEO, Dr Paul Gavin.

“We are excited to see how it performs in human studies.”

Results from the trials will also be used to support development and licensing arrangements with third parties, in the hopes to further expand into additional territories and new markets.

Avecho shares last traded at 1.9 cents at 12:50 pm AEST.
